White matter changes underlying cortical changes across the lifespan

Brain functions are a property of the interaction between brain areas. While much is known about cortical structure and the structural connections in the white matter, the interaction between the cortex and white matter is underexplored. Here, we aim to investigate and characterize the relationship between white and cortical changes across the lifespan. We use the functionnectome framework to associate white matter to morphological features of the cortex. Biologically, this white matter influences (or is influenced by) these cortical changes.
